  • FIGS. 11 to 25 show a further two embodiments of the invention, which have similar features to the embodiments described above.
  • FIG. 11 a framed greeting card arrangement is shown.
  • the frame is shown unfolded formed from a single sheet 20 of card material.
  • the sheet 20 is folded in use at fold lines 21a, 21 b and 21c.
  • the sheet includes four sections, section 1, section 2, section 3 and section 4.
  • Section 1 is plain, section 2 has die-cut formations 22, which can be the same or similar to those described above.
  • the die cut formations include a stand 42 which can pivot outwardly along hinge 43. The stand is prevented from pivoting too far by a retaining strap 45, itself hingeable at a hinge area 46 and having an enlarged end portion 44 engageable with the stand 42 at an area 47 at which both the stand 42 and strap 45 intersect when they are pivoted away from the remaining portions of section 2.
  • a hanger 48 is provided also for hanging the arrangement on a hook and includes a pivoted tab having a hole punched in it.
  • Section 3 includes a front or outer display aperture 23 and section 4 includes an inner display aperture 24 and a slot 25.
  • a conventional single leaf folded page greeting card 26 is secured by means of adhesive to the plain section 1 of the sheet 20.
  • the rear section 27 only of the card is secured to the plain section 1 , leaving the front section 28 of the card forming a flap which is hinged on one side so that it is openable and closeable.
  • the flap 28 is held in a closed position by means of a magnet 29 which cooperates with a further magnetic element 30 held to the section 2, when the frame is folded.
  • Figure 12 shows the same view as Figure 11 , except that the card 26 has been removed.
  • This Figure illustrates that the fixing of the card 26 to the plain section 1 prior to folding is optional, because the card 26 can be inserted after folding if required and so interchangeable cards can be used.
  • Figure 13 shows the opposite face of the sheet 20 shown in Figures 11 and 12.
  • the sheet 20, shown in Figure 11 can be folded along the two outer fold lines 21a and 21c such that sections 1 and 4 are folded away from the view shown i.e. in the direction into the paper and underneath sections 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the result of this folding will be a partially manufactured framed card as shown in Figure 14.
  • Figure 15 shows the opposite side of the frame shown in Figure 14.
  • the final manufacturing step is to fold the frame further along the central fold line 21b ensuring that the flap 28 is inserted through the slot 25 (where a card 26 is used initially).
  • the resultant arrangement is shown in Figure 18, wherein a multi-layered greeting card arrangement is illustrated.
  • Section 3 becomes a front layer having a display aperture 23 which exposes the underlying aperture 24 and forms a frame therearound.
  • Section 4 becomes a middle layer and aperture 24 is used to display a message, or other indicia on the rear section 27 of the greeting card 26.
  • Section 2 becomes a backing layer which provides support for the stand or hanging means 22 and section 1 becomes a stiffening layer, adding strength to the stand.
  • a display layer, on which the card's indicia will be formed, is, in this case formed by the card rear section 27.
  • the construction is held together generally by adhesive 32, although other fixing or securing methods can be adopted, for example double-sided adhesive tape, thermal welding, mechanical fastenings such as staples or similar means.
  • a flap 38 is formed by die-cutting three sides 39 of a rectangle and leaving one side of the rectangle to form a hinge 40 so that the flap is openable and closeable. Additionally a message or other indicia is formed on the otherwise plain section 4.
  • the framed greeting card is as described with reference to Figures 11 to 18, and like parts have like reference numerals.
  • Figure 20 shows a view of the opposite face of the sheet 20.
  • sections 1 and 4 are folded along lines 21a and 21c respectively upwards out of the paper and their respective edges are brought toward the fold line 21b.
  • FIG. 21 The resultant partially formed framed greeting card is shown in Figure 21.
  • the resultant construction is shown in Figures 22 to 25.
  • this variant includes a magnetic pair 29 and 30 shown in Figures 22 and 23 for maintaining the flap 38 in a closed position in use.
  • the flap 38 shown in Figure 23 is illustrated as if it were transparent, for clarity, although in practice it is more likely that the flap will be formed from the same card material as the sheet 20.
  • Figure 25 shows a section through the finished frame and card. From this drawing it is apparent that section 2 forms a front layer, section 1 forms a middle layer, which includes flap 38 and section 3 forms a backing layer.
  • Section 4 is a display layer on which indicia can be formed, but it can be seen that section 4 is not essential, if the card message or indicia is formed on the front face of the backing layer (section 3). However, the inclusion of section 4 provides a stiffening effect, thus forming a stiffening layer.
  • One advantage of the framed card arrangement -shown in Figure 25 is that it is formed from a single sheet of material (card) or the like and so this arrangement is particularly advantageous for mechanised construction.
  • Figure 26 shows an alternative to the hanger arrangement 7 and 48, and an alternative the stand arrangement 10 and 42 described above.
  • a hanger 50 is die cut from a rear section, for example section 2 as described above, so that it can be folded outwardly, in a direction out of the paper in the drawing, to form a U shaped protrusion having a two fold lines 51 , at which the hanger is joined to the remaining rear section 2.
  • a small aperture 52 cut from the rear section 2 allows a user to hinge the hanger 50 away from the rear section 2, for hanging the card on a wall or the like.
  • a pair of stands 60 which can be used alone or together, to support the card on a flat surface such as a table or desk.
  • Each stand 60 has a buttress 62, die cut from the rear section 2.
  • the buttress 62 can be folded outwardly along vertical fold line 61.
  • the stand 60 includes also a holding part 64, which too is die cut and can be folded outwardly along a horizontal fold line 63, which is perpendicular to the fold line 61.
